After 10yrs service i left the Royal Navy due to cancer in my neck and had a few tough years what with radiation treatments, different operations etc and then suffered bowel disease which is now cured.
Joined Durham & Darlington Fire & Rescue Service as a firefighter during covid (think i was bored and like to stay busy haha) of which i love helping the community and all the varied jobs and incidents that we attend and still do this part time.
Took over a year of planning for Canny Comps, acquiring correct licence, permissions and legal paperwork etc and then we launched 1yr ago in June 2023. The fact your reading this you know how much i love doing Canny Comps and the laughs we have with you all in our Canny Community.
In my spare time i like to : Work as an advocate around the UK helping those suffering from bowel disease, go hiking and tracing my ancestry and family history all the way to the Scottish Highlands and the Gunn Clan.
